Comic book females are wacky...

Most of the female mutants don't do hand-to-hand anyway. Almost all of them use various forms of projectile energy of one form or another. X-ceptions off the top of my head being Rogue and Rahne.

We do know a few female scrappers do... She-Hulk often transformed and interrupted doing lawyer stuff to beat up baddies. Black Cat had a very intricate amount of femme-fatale build up before tangoing with Spider-Man in her early career or getting her nose broken by Venom when trying to bring him down. Makeup would be crazy for Invisible Woman, as it would leave a floating face-shaped cloud.

So yeah, I don't think it's very "realistic" but then this is comic books 95% illustrated by men for teenage boys and other men. Heavy stripper-makup and exaggerated bodies just seems to be par for the course.
